Room for discussion?

I might move the stereo to a new room. Are these good dimensions, sonically?

Buff,

Thanks for the tips. Could I just have the room that YOU'RE using for that absolutely gorgeous virtual system of yours?????
Yes, I can put the speakers along the long wall.

Hifitime,
That's a good idea that I hadn't thought of. Not sure whether it will be possible to do or not. Although not huge, the speakers I have ARE heavy, with granite cabinets.

Thanks, guys!

Bill Hoover,
Can you provide info regarding your current room?

I have doubts about whether you'll achieve a superior musical experience in that significantly smaller room, despite the the non-parallel long walls.

Has it been determined with some reasonable amount of certainty that risers improve Stillpoint performance within The Summit context? I ask for information.

My Gamma Summit setup had all SPs resting on Granite.

I'm now using Dale's Pingoras, fwiw.

>Can you put the speakers on the 155" wall? 125" is a little narrow for my blood.

With barely 10' you can't get enough space between speakers + front wall and listener + back wall to avoid unnatural low frequency boosts while still having enough distance (sayu 6-7') for the driers to integrate.

This is a great question. My room is almost the same dimensions.

Right now I have the speakers on the long wall. The speakers are six feet apart from the center of the tweeters and my ear is around 7.5 feet from each speaker. The rear of the speakers are 28" from the front wall. Very little toe in. I'm sitting against the rear wall. My ears are about 8" from the rear wall.

I still feel I'm sitting to close to the speakers this way. I was thinking of trying the speakers on the short wall. But then i'm not sure the room is wide enough that way.
